[quackcrazy]

Hello everyone !! does anyone know how many days till turkey eggs are to old to incubate??? Thanks for any help anyone has !!

In the wild hens may lay for 2 or 3 weeks before she sits the nest so I would assume tame turkeys should be the same as long as the eggs have not been roughed up, overheated, frozen and have been turned at least twice a day.

I think it's about 10 to 14 days before the success rate will start to drop. As long as you store them correctly and turn them.

Of course in our case we had 0 out of about 28 eggs this year hatched. None showed any signs of being fertal after being in the bator for some time.

When we gave up on the Tom and butcherd him, I noticed his testies were deformed.
